Regent's Palace.

Den.

"Your Highness, this is Cui Yunzhen's answer sheet sent by his subordinates to transcribe it. The subordinates are puzzled, but what went wrong with the evaluation of the scientific expedition? Your Highness would never have cared about such trivial matters before. ”

"This year is different."

Xu Ziyi looked at the scroll carefully, his voice was clean and thin, without a trace of impurities, and he said: "This king thinks that Cui Yunzhen is not very right. ”

"Why?"

"Cui Yunzhen's father is Cui Dakang, the secretary of the Ministry of War. Cui Dakang, although he is a civil official, has a strong personality, which is completely different from his weak son. This champion essay is sonorous in every sentence, and the iron bones in it are clearly visible. If it had been written by his father, the king would have believed it, but if he had written it himself, the king would not have believed it easily. ”

"Your Highness is wise."

"I heard that Du Zhijie's performance this time is very good. Go, and bring him to the king. ”

"Yes."

After about half a cup of tea, Du Zhijie arrived. He sat down on the bottom, not knowing where to put his hands and feet, a little restrained.

"You don't have to be too nervous. This king has read several of your essays, and they are very well written. This time I am looking for you, nothing else, just a casual chat. ”

"Yes."

"You and Cui Yunzhen, but you know each other?"

"Back to Your Highness, Cui Gongzi is the son of a dignified scholar, how can I climb high? Zhijie and Cui Gongzi, except for the examination room, have no personal relationship. ”

"Oh? That is, you have no impression of him? ”

Du Zhijie hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Not really." If it is the first time I met, Zhijie thinks that Cui Gongzi is a white-faced scholar with a weak appearance. But who would have thought that on that day's scientific examination defense, Cui Gongzi was full of proverbs, and his strength was exposed...... Indeed...... Zhijie was shocked. ”

"The king knows. Du Zhijie, you are a talented person, don't be discouraged. 'Where there's a will, there's a way'. It's gold, and there will always be a day when it shines. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the point! Zhijie retired first. ”

Du Zhijie was a little excited. The regent said that he was talented, did it mean that he would still get ahead one day?

Xu Ziyi's fingers are slender and powerful, and the joints are distinct, so good-looking. He tapped his fingers on the tabletop, once, twice...... As if thinking.

Cui Yun is really...... You're such a mystery.

Ji Fu.

Ji Zhen has nothing to do and likes to read popular essays. At this time, Ran Yiyi is here one by one, drinking tea and listening to books, and the beauties are on the side, extremely leisurely.

“…… The high level of the examination plate, the governance of Yingchuan, will be rewarded, and the wind will have a place; The eagle and crane of the people, the tiger who abuses the people, will destroy it to warn the officials. Those who can restore the emperor's self-reliance, and call the joint government affairs are still comprehensive, deceive and hypocritical, and the general affairs are empty......"

"That's not right...... Ji Zhen, you stop for a moment and repeat the previous sentence. ”

"Yo, you little girl, when did you start to care about these boring political ways?" Ji Zhen couldn't help but tease.

"Cut, don't look down on people, okay?! People have been reading books for more than ten years! Come on! ”

"Okay, okay. Listen up, girl, 'use the ability to restore the emperor's self-reliance, and call the joint government affairs and comprehensive audit, deceive and false, and always empty words'......"

"No, no, it's the last sentence!"

"The high level of the examination plate, the governance of Yingchuan, will be rewarded, and there will be a ...... in the wind"

"The eagle and crane of the people, the tiger who abuses the people, will be destroyed to warn the officials."

The last two sentences, Ran Yiyi recited them one by one with his super memory.

"I really didn't see it, your little brain is quite effective in remembering things!"

"It's just so-so. I saw the text before, and I memorized it if I was interested. ”

"Before? When have you seen this article? This is Cui Yun's real winning work. ”

“What？ Cui Yunzhen? Is there a mistake?! This "Champion Volume" is obviously written by Zhao Bingzhong, is it good? ! Zhao Bingzhong, a genius of the Ming Dynasty! I'm a big fan of him! ”

Zhao Bingzhong...... Who is it? ”

"Oops! At the age of 15, he was a student of the supplementary government, at the age of 24, he was promoted to the people, and at the age of 25, he participated in the palace examination, and won the first place in the first class in one fell swoop. Awesome! ”

Ran turned into a fan girl in an instant, and her eyes lit up.

"I still don't get it. What does this have to do with Cui Yunzhen's article? Do you mean that Cui Yunzhen cheated and stole Zhao Bingzhong's answer sheet? ”

"Uh...... Makes sense, makes sense......"

"Impossible."

"Why?"

"Cui Yunzhen has been talented and intelligent since childhood. Many of his poems have been recognized. And this person is very cowardly, and he will never dare to do such a thing. ”

"But "Champion Volume" is obviously Zhao Bingzhong's! And, it's weird. Zhao Bingzhong is not from here, and you have never even heard of him. So, how did Cui Yunzhen get his things......"

Ran Yi couldn't think of a reason. In an instant, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind!

"Ahh I know! Could it be that Cui Yunzhen is also from us? He also knows Zhao Bingzhong?! ”

"One by one......

"Ji Zhen, hurry! Is it okay to take me to Cui Yun? He is probably my lonely fellow countryman in Qingxu! ”

Since the last time Ji Zhen failed to steal books and was injured by an arrow, Ran Yiyi didn't have the courage to continue to mention "Qingxu Yin" and going home in front of him. Still, she hasn't given up hope. Perhaps, she just needs to wait for a suitable moment. And now, Cui Yunzhen has appeared. The key is that he knows the existence of Zhao Bingzhong! Then he must have some kind of connection with himself! Ran Yiyi must find him one by one, she really has too many mysteries to solve.

"Okay."

Ji Zhen couldn't refuse Ran Yiyi at all. Even if there is danger ahead, so what? "Death to a man who is a confidant". He only knew that it was a matter of Ran Yiyi, and he would never stand idly by.

In the lobby of Cui's mansion, Cui Yun is really being trained.

"Hahaha...... Yun Zhen! You've done a great job! Sure enough, he lived up to his father's expectations! In one fell swoop, he won the first place, glorified his ancestors, and did not lose the face of our Cui family! Hahaha......"

"It's all thanks to my father's years of teaching."

Cui Yunzhen is still submissive, which upsets Cui Dakang for no reason.

"You kid, when are you going to be tougher! It's all Xijing Zhuangyuanlang! What is it like to be so cowardly! ”

"If the child knows his mistake, the child will definitely change!"

Cui Yunzhen was so frightened that he immediately knelt down.

"But there's one thing, you have to be honest with me. It's strange to be a father, just such a cowardly character...... Where can such a rigid article be written? Didn't you do something?! ”

"Nope! Absolutely nothing! The father misunderstands the child! ”

"Look at your cowardice! You are my Cui Dakang's son, even if you do some shady little actions, it's nothing. It's just that when you do things, pay attention to a 'clean and neat', and don't show me anything! Got it? ”

"Yes...... Remember your father's teachings! Father, the child has just been given an official position, and there are still many things to deal with, so he will retire first. ”

"Hmm."

Cui Yunzhen trembled and retreated.

After Cui Yunzhen left, Cui Dakang was thoughtful. It's better to check carefully, and be careful.

"Master, there is a gentleman outside the door who claims to be Ji Zhenji's miracle doctor, with a little girl, who wants to ask to see the eldest son."

"Ji Zhen? Hmph, I didn't look for him, but he came to the door. Cui Dakang narrowed his eyes.

"You say, they're here to find Yun Zhen?"

"Exactly."

Cui Dakang had another suspicion.

"You're going to get rid of them right away! Let's just say, I'm Cui Mansion, I can't allow Ji Zhen to come in and spread wild! ”

"Ji Zhen, why did that little guy go for so long and not come back?!"

Ran Yi paced back and forth one by one, waiting very anxiously.

"Don't panic, girl. Look, isn't this coming? ”

When Ran Yi saw the Cui Mansion family one by one, he rushed up at once, but was stopped by the people guarding the door.

"What are you doing? Let me go! ”

"This girl, Doctor Ji, please go back. The master said, you are not welcome in the Cui Mansion. ”

"Why?"

Ran jumped to his feet one by one, struggling, and planned to break into Cui's mansion.

"The lord's orders are never for a reason! Hurry up and blast away these two people who disturbed the lord's purity! ”

"Yes!"

Several family members worked together to push the noisy Ran out one by one. Ji Zhen stepped forward in time, stopped the group of rough men, and protected the girl behind him.

"In that case, we don't force it."

"Eh, Ji Zhen! How can you just leave! I'm still looking for Cui Yunzhen! ”

Ran Yiyi refused to leave for nothing.

"Didn't you hear what people said? The Cui family will not meet us. ”

"Why are they? Now Cui Yun is really important to me! I had to figure out what the hell was going on! Please, Ji Zhen! Let me in, okay? ”

"Girl, I'm sorry, I'm to blame for this. Cui Dakang will repay this person, and he must hold a grudge against what I did before. ”

"What do you mean?"

Ran Yiyi has never understood what is the relationship between Cui Dakang and Ji Zhen? Why did Cui Dakang kidnap himself for Ji Zhen before? How did Ji Zhen save himself in the end? Could it be that the two of them made a deal?

"I poisoned him."

Hearing this, Ran couldn't hide his surprise one by one: "How come?" When was it ordered? It can't be itchy powder again, right? ”

"I can't go into detail about the time of poisoning. Poison is soul devouring. ”

"Huh? Sounds scary......"

"Hmm. If there is no antidote within a month, the poison will enter the bone marrow, taste the pain of soul devouring and die. ”

"Then why are you...... How can you poison him so badly? ”

"I have a last resort."

At the beginning, King Jia was a demon and wanted to accuse Xu Ziyi of killing Fan Yingtian, an official of the imperial court, but it was Cui Dakang who colluded with the courtiers to return to King Jia and blocked Xu Ziqi's way. However, Cui Dakang's actions were controlled by Ji Zhen. Ji Zhen had expected it as early as when he was in Min Encheng that Xu Ziqi would make a fuss about this matter. Sure enough, as soon as the regent returned to the palace, he couldn't bear to ask for trouble. In this case, why didn't he Ji Zhen push the boat down the river and help Xu Ziyi? So, he ordered his subordinates to lurk in Xijing and use the Soul Devouring Scatter to coerce Cui Dakang into submission. These conspiracies and calculations are too complicated and dirty after all. The girl is innocent and kind, she will not understand her plan for life and death related to family feuds......

Therefore, Ji Zhen will not talk to her in detail.

"Okay. Then he inexplicably tied me up before, just to find you to get the antidote? ”

"That's right."

"Alas! Why is my life so bitter...... Why don't you just go home, how can it be so hard?! Anyway, Cui Yunzhen is a must-see for me! Since you can't see you in Cui's Mansion, it's always okay to follow someone on the street and then run into something by chance, right? ”

Ran Yiyi's eyes revealed an inevitable edge. Heaven is not beautiful. If you can't take the bright road, it's okay to come to the yin, hehehe......

Ji Zhen suddenly felt a little dazzling, he touched the girl's little head, and said with a low smile, "Okay." It's all up to you. ”
